Boyd Sentenced in Drug Case
In Muskingum County Common Pleas Court Monday a 29-year-old was sentenced in a drug and firearm case.
29-year-old Shannon Boyd, of Columbus, was sentenced to ten years in prison with a minimum term of seven mandatory years, a fine of $7,500.00 and forfeiture of a firearm. Once released he’ll spend three years on post release control.
Judge Kelly Cottrill handed down the sentence after Boyd plead guilty last month to one count of possession of drugs and having a weapon under disability.
The charges stem from a June 1, 2020 arrest by members of the Muskingum County/Zanesville City Joint Drug Unit and the Central Ohio Drug Enforcement Task Force.
